dry dog food recall
ATLANTA -- Some worried pet owners are grinding up meat in their kitchens and
making their own dog and cat food because of the contamination scare blamed
for numerous animal deaths.
Sales of pet food recipe books also have shot up since the nationwide pet-food
recall began three weeks ago.
Amy Parish, 40, stopped giving her two aging chow chows canned food. Instead,
Parish mixes dry food with a mash of chicken, rice, oatmeal and cottage cheese
that she prepares twice a week.
"I'm very suspicious of any large-brand manufactured dog food," said
Parish, who lives in the Atlanta suburb of Tucker.
But veterinarians warn that making balanced meals for pets can be complicated
and should only be a temporary remedy.
Nearly 100 store and major-brand pet foods were recalled by Menu Foods on
March 16. Three other companies have recalled some foods since then.
Food and Drug Administration testing found that wheat gluten imported from
China was contaminated with a chemical used in the manufacture of plastics.
The FDA has confirmed 15 pet deaths, and anecdotal reports suggest hundreds
may have died. China has denied exporting the wheat gluten.
Some pet owners are not taking any chances.
John Slavens, 41, San Diego, spent five hours grinding beef and boiling
potatoes and pasta for a stew, supplemented with a vitamin-mineral powder, for
his two border collies.
"These dogs are my family," Slavens said.
The FDA and the American Veterinary Medical Association are urging pet owners
to switch brands if they are worried. The veterinarian group also warned that
many common foods are not safe for pets, including salt, garlic, onions,
grapes and chocolate.

Making pet food at home is "kind of like canning: You have to think about
bacterial contamination. And how do you make sure it's nutritionally
appropriate and balanced for the animal?" said FDA spokeswoman Julie
Zawisza.
On Amazon.com, the cookbook "Real Food for Dogs" has moved into the
list of top 200 best-sellers.
Robert Van Sickle, co-owner of the Polka Dog Bakery in Boston, said many
customers have asked for advice in making their own dog food.
"What this scare has shown me is that it's amazing how many people
don't know what they are feeding their dogs," he said.
